    =============================================

    All the processes which are same should be put together, however it should be in the same order as in the main DATA range.

    Like the process which falls first in the main DATA would appear first and the remaining Activities would go in the next rows and after that when allthe activities are over the next process from the main list should appear and its corresponding activities.

    You can sort by custom list. First you need to make the custom list in the order in which you want.

    I'd suggest using Advanced Filter, unique records only.
    Highlight your column A (your list)
    Data>Advanced Filter
    Copy to another location (somewhere off to the right of your spreadsheet)
    No criteria
    Unique records only

    Then highlight this new list and from Tools>Options> Custom Lists
    Import this new list.
    If you add new unique items to column A later, you can update this list manually.

    Now highlight columns A and B and Data>Sort
    Click on Options and instead of Normal, pick the list you just created.

    Question I want this to be done programmatically.

    I want this to be done programmatically.

    Is it possible to arrange the data as specified above dynamically as this range is always going to change..

    The Like Processes should be clustered together in the way they appear in the Main Data.
    For Ex:- the Logistcis should come first in the result and all the Logistics with different activities will get displayed and then HR & Administration...
